Britain has never hidden her disdain for the former Eastern Nigeria since the colonial era and the reasons are very obvious; the former Eastern Nigeria and her surrounding neighbors like The Benins, gave the invading British army some of her most brutal and bloody military confrontations during the early stages of colonialism. It was hell for the colonial empire. While corrupt local leaderships elsewhere quickly signed agreements to allign with the British to subdue their people, lots of Igbo clans fought tooth and nail to resist colonialism and restore African traditional governments. This cost the British a lot of time, energy, resources and lives and ultimately led to the categorisation of these groups as being obstinate and anti British and as such, groups to be dealt with.

The poor Igbo relationship with the British was not helped by events at the start of the struggle for independent rule. The fact that the leading lights that instigated all sorts of anti colonial movements in Nigeria through different relatively sophisticated tools, like the media and broader diplomatic contacts were mainly igbos and the "returnee slaves" was not lost on the colonialists. This only increased the disdain with which the British viewed the men from the East. On the contrary, most indigenous fiefdoms in colonial Nigeria, already comfortable with their pro-colonial agreements with the British that put them on top of their downtrodden populations, lacked the zeal and impetus to take the British head on. As a result, at the initial stages of the struggle for independence, the charge was led in the main by such returnee slaves like Bishop Ajayi Crowther, Sir Herbert Macaulay and ofcourse such igbos as the ebullient Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and his cousins. These characters will later motivate others to join. Infact, Chief Obafemi Awolowo once claimed that he got motivated to start his own party for independence, after covering Nnamdi Azikiwes political campaigns from a tree branch!

All these agitations caused the British a lot. Nigeria was their prized asset. Nigeria was big, produced a lot of needed raw minerals for British industries, commanded a strategic position in regional scheme of things in Africa and was basically a fertile ground for British colonial exploits. The discovery of an unbelievable amount of hydro carbon in the Eastern parts of Nigeria towards the end of colonial rule, only put the icing on the cake. All of a sudden, a country in Africa, had more oil than many middle eastern countries. The British wanted that oil and planned to stay longer to exploit it. But all these came to a shattering halt with Nigerias independence, led in the main by the likes of Nnamdi Azikiwe, the Mathew Mbus of these world and ofcourse the Micheal Okparas. Britain was chased out, some of her colonial assets were seized and a very robust indigenous movement to exorcise Nigerians of their British trappings was unleashed. The Igbo elites, full of firebrand Africanists were leading this movement. British ego was massively bruised and they waited for their time to strike back at these obstinate igbos that have led this charge..The Nigeria - Biafra war provided The British with the one in a lifetime opportunity they badly craved for to "teach the igbos a lesson"...

Many igbos don't know this, but the total blockades of the Bight of Biafra that caused Biafra more than ten thousand lives a day, was done by the British navy! The Nigerians were basically bystanders in that war, forget their big mouths.. The Nigerian navy as at this time was almost non existent with just few friggets. The British did not just provide for the blockade, it is on record that the British dumped more ammunition in Nigeria for free during the war than the amount they used during the second world war. The amount of ammunition was so massive that at a point, some British MPs and even top celebrities, started to openly voice their anger with the genocide going on.. This led to such characters as John Lennon retuning his MBE award to the queen! Bruce Mayrock set himself on fire in front of the United Nations building because of these. The man who founded The Apple organization, Steve Jobs, changed his total worldview after witnessing the British evil support for genocide in Biafra! That didn't stop the British, they only added more military assistants in men and armor until almost five million Biafrans were slaughtered. Today, The British banks, companies and businesses, own most of Nigerias Oil and gas deposits today, either directly or by proxies, all these as paybacks for their unflinching support in this first "black on black genocide".. How do the people from these oil communities disentangle themselves from the parasitic imperialistic claws of this wayward neo colonialist? Time to bring in the Russians!?

With the new massive discoveries of gas in Igboland, the east is now a subject for both the Western countries and for Russia and China. It has been stated by the governor of Imo State that the new discoveries of gas in Imo State might be the biggest not just in Africa but in the world. This is a massive bargaining chip! We don't have to fight the British, all we have to do is to find ways to cultivate a good reasonable relationship with the British on sundry issues related to hydro carbons. If it means promising them a bigger cut compared to what has been already promised to them by the Fulani, let's do it. Folks should stop fighting the British as Nnamdi Kanu once did. It makes no sense. The British is still strategically positioned to ruin any struggle in the East as they have now shown with their muted attempt to limit Igbos reach. What folks aspiring for a better deal for igbos and her minority neighbors should do is to open channels for communications with their British contacts and reach deals just like the fulanis did, that made the British support them this far in Nigeria. But if in the unlikely event, the British insists that it's "head over hills" with the fulanis, we in the Eastern part of Nigeria that seek for freedom to live in peace should deal with the Russians and find ways to neuter British growing negative influence in Nigerias politics going forward..

hammer567:

I understand your perspective. But the problem with it is that The Israelis have their global interests tied with the major Western powers. It's tricky. TheIsraelis can seldom go against any major Western power since they're all part of the same military and political alliances. Much as they will like to help, it will be easy for The Americans and by extension The British to influence them not to go full throttle. An that is already happening.

These things are questions of " national interests" for these countries and not an emotional topic. The French were supporting Biafra during the war but once The Americans got the British and the french to agree on how to share the post war spoils, The French backed off and Biafra capitulated. When you get involved in very delicate conflicts of this nature, you need to have a super power that can be there for the long run. The Russians know that the west will like to use Nigerias Oil and growing gas reserve to subvert her gas supplies to Europe. Buhari is already building a gas pipeline to this effect. So for the Russians, involvement in this this kind of conflict is a strategic move...

Nice write up brother. But we are tired of blood shed in Igboland. Should Biafrans give up and make peace with the Caliphate and forget about freedom. We will be easily dominated and conquered. Well that is left for majority of Biafrans to decide. Should Biafra stand on her feet and create alliances to counter the Nigerian and the British government? It will turn Biafra to Ukraine. Which ever way, I have come to realize that it is only God in Heaven that can save the igbos from this fix. Should I then conclude that Biafra is a misadventure? Have Biafrans come to a stage of no going back on Biafra? I cry � for the lives that are being lost and those that will be lost.

The Talibans was tagged terrorist but when they overthrew Afghanistan govt the world accepted them as the legitimate govt in Afghanistan.
NELSON Mandela was sentence to life imprisonment and his organization labelled terror. But it didn't stop the will of God.

This cost the British a lot of time, energy, resources and lives and ultimately led to the categorisation of these groups as being obstinate and anti British and as such, groups to be dealt with.

The poor Igbo relationship with the British was not helped by events at the start of the struggle for independent rule. The fact that the leading lights that instigated all sorts of anti colonial movements in Nigeria through different relatively sophisticated tools, like the media and broader diplomatic contacts were mainly igbos and the "returnee slaves" was not lost on the colonialists. This only increased the disdain with which the British viewed the men from the East. On the contrary, most indigenous fiefdoms in colonial Nigeria, already comfortable with their pro-colonial agreements with the British that put them on top of their downtrodden populations, lacked the zeal and impetus to take the British head on. As a result, at the initial stages of the struggle for independence, the charge was led in the main by such returnee slaves like Bishop Ajayi Crowther, Sir Herbert Macaulay and ofcourse such igbos as the ebullient Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and his cousins. These characters will later motivate others to join. Infact, Chief Obafemi Awolowo once claimed that he got motivated to start his own party for independence, after covering Nnamdi Azikiwes political campaigns from a tree branch!

All these agitations caused the British a lot. Nigeria was their prized asset. Nigeria was big, produced a lot of needed raw minerals for British industries, commanded a strategic position in regional scheme of things in Africa and was basically a fertile ground for British colonial exploits. The discovery of an unbelievable amount of hydro carbon in the Eastern parts of Nigeria towards the end of colonial rule, only put the icing on the cake. All of a sudden, a country in Africa, had more oil than many middle eastern countries. The British wanted that oil and planned to stay longer to exploit it. But all these came to a shattering halt with Nigerias independence, led in the main by the likes of Nnamdi Azikiwe, the Mathew Mbus of these world and ofcourse the Micheal Okparas. Britain was chased out, some of her colonial assets were seized and a very robust indigenous movement to exorcise Nigerians of their British trappings was unleashed. The Igbo elites, full of firebrand Africanists were leading this movement. British ego was massively bruised and they waited for their time to strike back at these obstinate igbos that have led this charge..The Nigeria - Biafra war provided The British with the one in a lifetime opportunity they badly craved for to "teach the igbos a lesson"...

Many igbos don't know this, but the total blockades of the Bight of Biafra that caused Biafra more than ten thousand lives a day, was done by the British navy! The Nigerians were basically bystanders in that war, forget their big mouths.. The Nigerian navy as at this time was almost non existent with just few friggets. The British did not just provide for the blockade, it is on record that the British dumped more ammunition in Nigeria for free during the war than the amount they used during the second world war. The amount of ammunition was so massive that at a point, some British MPs and even top celebrities, started to openly voice their anger with the genocide going on.. This led to such characters as John Lennon retuning his MBE award to the queen! Bruce Mayrock set himself on fire in front of the United Nations building because of these. The man who founded The Apple organization, Steve Jobs, changed his total worldview after witnessing the British evil support for genocide in Biafra! That didn't stop the British, they only added more military assistants in men and armor until almost five million Biafrans were slaughtered. Today, The British banks, companies and businesses, own most of Nigerias Oil and gas deposits today, either directly or by proxies, all these as paybacks for their unflinching support in this first "black on black genocide".. How do the people from these oil communities disentangle themselves from the parasitic imperialistic claws of this wayward neo colonialist? Time to bring in the Russians!?

With the new massive discoveries of gas in Igboland, the east is now a subject for both the Western countries and for Russia and China. It has been stated by the governor of Imo State that the new discoveries of gas in Imo State might be the biggest not just in Africa but in the world. This is a massive bargaining chip! We don't have to fight the British, all we have to do is to find ways to cultivate a good reasonable relationship with the British on sundry issues related to hydro carbons. If it means promising them a bigger cut compared to what has been already promised to them by the Fulani, let's do it. Folks should stop fighting the British as Nnamdi Kanu once did. It makes no sense. The British is still strategically positioned to ruin any struggle in the East as they have now shown with their muted attempt to limit Igbos reach. What folks aspiring for a better deal for igbos and her minority neighbors should do is to open channels for communications with their British contacts and reach deals just like the fulanis did, that made the British support them this far in Nigeria. But if in the unlikely event, the British insists that it's "head over hills" with the fulanis, we in the Eastern part of Nigeria that seek for freedom to live in peace should deal with the Russians and find ways to neuter British growing negative influence in Nigerias politics going forward..

STOP equating the entire Igbo nation to a bunch of social misfits and miscreants called IPOB.

Let IPOB go and join Russian army or something. If they don't like UK. Many sane people are happy that their wings will soon be clipped. They are the most SENSELESS ediots in this century!

Even people in Igboland are afraid of these miscreants calling themselves IPOB!

Kitikpa richa unu ike eba ahu! Ipob ko, Taliban ni.

Let Simon Ekpa continue to preach violence against innocent people who want to go to their jobs on Monday mornings. Soon, the long arm of EU cooperative aggreements will force Finland to deport him to Nigeria.

Nice write up brother. But we are tired of blood shed in Igboland. Should Biafrans give up and make peace with the Caliphate and forget about freedom. We will be easily dominated and conquered. Well that is left for majority of Biafrans to decide. Should Biafra stand on her feet and create alliances to counter the Nigerian and the British government? It will turn Biafra to Ukraine. Which ever way, I have come to realize that it is only God in Heaven that can save the igbos from this fix. Should I then conclude that Biafra is a misadventure? Have Biafrans come to a stage of no going back on Biafra? I cry � for the lives that are being lost and those that will be lost.

I understand your quandary.. I go through this sort of emotions sometimes..
But the fact is that we are already down, we can't fear further falls..
They parasitic federal Nigerian government of tribal bimbos have more or else exhausted the total Oil deposits in the East. They're now cleverly and gingerly trying to pivot to gas. Imo and Abia states have the biggest gas deposits around. If we keep quiet and allow this colony of dessert mutants to ransack the east again, we will end up not having any serious economic backbone to build up igboland afterwards.

This is because the federal government has done absolutely nothing in terms of building up infastructure in the East. No doubt about it, Nigeria is a huge boil growing on the Igbo mans scrotum. The boil must be dealt with but cleverly. Let the socalled Igbo intellectuals start the process of negotiating with The British. Open diplomatic channels and promise them double whatever the Fulani has promised them and go on from there. We will be be better than we are with whatever we got out of our resources after that. Subsequently, the relationship could be calibrated to suit everyone reasonably..
